Semester one of 2016 is now coming to an end and so is our role as Editors
of the Nura Gili News. We are both very thankful for gaining this opportunity
to contribute to Nura Gili and gain experience as Media Interns.
During semester two, Nura Gili will employ new Media Interns to take over
this role and we wish them the best of luck with the following editions. We
are confident that Nura Gili has both the facilities and guidance to assist the
new interns in continuing the success of the Nura Gili News.
It is a very hectic time of semester for students and staff. Nura Gili is
busily preparing for the 2016 UNSW Indigenous Winter School taking place
in the first week of July. Additionaly, the the UNSW Indigenous Games Team
are currently training hard for this year’s National Indigenous Tertiary
Education Student Games at the end of this month. Finally, all students are
preparing for the end of semester assessments and exams. The Indigneous
Society will also be atteding Bangarra’s production of OUR Land People
Stories on June 10 at the Sydney Opera House.
Blast from the Past! 18
To the first year students who have completed their first semester of tertiary
studies, congratulations you’ve made it through the hardest part and to the
students who have just completed their last semester of their studies, well
done on this achievement and best of luck in your future endeavours!
Good luck to everyone during their final assessments and exams and we
hope you all have a relaxing and joyful break!
Congrats, Scott! 17
